Thanks Marshal, same error here. No need to reply to my email separately, I will keep an eye on the thread.

To point me in the right direction as I look into this issue, could you let me know if you are typing your name/address in directly, if it is pre-populating from your browser, or if you are using Paypal or other quick pay options with the checkout?

Thanks!

I am using "shop pay" (I think the normal checkout) and the address is being pre-populated by shop pay with my email.

Gotcha, thanks for confirming. I will look into it right away.

I was able to send m5d5cb and invoice via email (unconfirmed if that works...?), but happy to do so for you too. So sorry for the headache. If you would like to PM me your email, address, and confirm the model, I can try that for you too?

Thank you so much!

OK! I think I figured it out. Please let me know if that works!
Many thanks and apologies again for the run around.

Aight, I put down $250 for a set of R99s. But the gift card option doesn't allow you to specify model/length. Should I follow up the order with an email?

Replied.

Sorry, it was dumb and lazy of me not to reach out with this via email first thing.

Carry on!

Sweet, dude! These are the standout of this first run, IMO.

Right on!
Just a short 8mos away….

$250 deposit in for R99. Thank you Marshal :yourock:

Marshal, order just placed for R87 175.
I'm up near Toronto, but I'm having they shipped to my pal in Connecticut who will mule them to me at some point. The R87 is ski I don't really need, but gives me something uber-cool to look forward to whenever they might show up ! I did have the Blossom Whiteout a few years back, and my pal in CT still has a set of PM Gear SuperBros in rotation. So awesome of your endeavor with Heritage Lab Skis, and that the community is stepping up with orders to Fuel The Stoke !

thanks ~ Andy

When is the end of pre ordering?

In for the short 99, the stoke is real.

Down for the r87

#NotAspenHank!!

#FullTimeAspenHank

Lol

freepiste!!

I just threw down for the 188cm R99, too. Really excited to see how they ride. Still resisting grabbing variants of the big C and FR skis. Drooling over the heavy FR120 and the light C138.

As noted above, Marshal sent me a few invoices and was able to figure out the cart shipping issue.

Order placed in full for a R87 175cm. Order #1064.
Now to find some appropriate brake width Tyrolia bindings by the time they arrive.

Hope I don't regret not geting an R99 (overlaps with a Ripstick 96) but there is always the next order after trying these.

_______ race crew has been offered Hookerz n Blow for an early AM assault on the WC race hill w the proto’s- stay tuned!

howdy! I replied to your pm too, but in case anyone else was wondering, I thought I would share here too.

the short story is I hope to add a 180ish version of the 120 in 9-12mo on the next round for these. There definitely has been interest!

cheers!

In your scenario, I would say that the Carbon construction 120 would probably go back to the car by mid day on most inbounds pow days. The Freeride would stay out for the whole day. I just wouldn't want to skin 5k on the freeride skis.

Not sure if I am helping or not... just my .02!

Marshal, this did help - triggered pulled on 200cm C120s, 2 hours before the deadline! Stoked for them! (And there's a chance I change my shipping address, but I'll confirm with you if that's happening at the end of the summer.)

Couldn't help myself... order placed for the 192cm C138. I've hefted various iterations of that shape a few times over the years and never skied it. Psyched to support a project like this...

Now I guess I can spend the next few months agonizing over what to mount them with. Interested to hear what others are leaning towards (will be skiing them in the Cascades and as a traveling pow ski).

This is cool, and eerily good timing. I had the 202cm Amazon special 138s ($275 shipped :eek:), and toured on them anytime I could justify it (shorter days, yo-yo pow laps). Cold Dead Hands skis! Turns out they were destined to die in a rather large fire (strangely they fared best out of all of the skis, maybe cuz carbon?). 5 days later Marshall posts this thread, and 202s are back. Everybody should have a pair of powder missiles. Thanks mang.

Sent you a rather long message to your website. Super intrigued by a few of these shapes...

Query about the R99 and its character.

Having never skied a Legend or Monster, I'm interested in the R99s. In this ~100 slot, I've skied Moment PBJs (my current 100 ski and fave), Mantra 102s, several iterations of Cochise (original Cochise was another fave), and Bonafides.

PBJ has been my fave because it skis so well on groomed and off-piste, is stiff, but is also really playful and fun to pop and jump all over the mountain. I sold the 191 M102s because (they were too long?), they were not playful (too long??). Much preferred the PBJs.

So, I'm wondering if the R99 would be a good complement to the PBJs. Good for railing groomers and slaying chalk?

Is that what the R99 is for? Will it be any fun to drop cliffs and pop little off-piste rocks and jumps and such? Or is it a groundbound slay machine more like the M102? I ski a maritime snowpack (Tahoe, CA) if that matters.

Thanks for the amazing project, MO!

ahoy! So good questions here.

with respect to the pbj, the r99 is going to be much heavier, longer effective edge, and much more directional.

with respect to the m102, which I found to be a bit rough and boardy in ride, but lots of people really
dig it. the r99 should be smoother, drift cleaner off edge on wind buff, and be more lively overall.

I would say that the pbj is a pretty different ski, so if you are looking to compliment, something like the r99 makes sense.

hope that helps!

Ground bound slay machine. Fine for straight airs, but more power than pop with these constructions. You could probably get a decent idea from this review of a French ski which seems very similar to the R99- the Aluflex Ephemere (use google translate)

I'm a big fan of skis with this shape and construction. They really open the mountain up in shit snow and during dry spells when other people don't like to ski off piste. Think Tahoe when its dry but the corn cycle isn't really going- or the alps most of this season :redface:

I'd love a R87 (maybe also in a 188) and R99 to complement my collection of long guns which are overkill on days at the smaller hills. Maybe next year along with a FR120 for when my billy goats die.

Hoss quiver. Respect!

The other cool thing Marshall has done with the R series is a real hardwood core.

Kastle, stockli, head, dynastar have all moved to poplar, beech, and paulownia even in their metal laminate (freeride) skis. I'm not sure how different these woods actually ski flex, pop, and stiffness wise but I do feel it changes the lifetime of the ski (provided the bases are kept clean).

I tested some current vintage stormriders this week. They rip. But I don't think I could drop a 1000 on a paulownia ski. Save that for the touring sticks where the overall lifetime vertical is a fraction of an inbounds ski.

Marshall, would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Oh man. I love this topic. But I have to run to get my kids from school right now... Spaced reserved.
Punchline: The wood selected really matters.

I just keep reading the R120 description and wishing I was still skiing the Bird 3-4 days a week.

Me too! I thought of all the models offered the R99 would see the most use. Pulled the trigger at the last minute yesterday.
